I was intending to enter the Art Wolfe EPI awards this year which is apparently open to international photographers. Yet the online entry form seem to only allow residents of the US & Canada to register. Does anyone have any idea about this? My email to them drew no response.

I believe it is international, I'm not sure why they have that posted that way on their site.

I know for sure that it is international as I remember a few weeks ago reading a write up on the event. I will check on the site for a way to do it.

At the point of purchase you have to enter a billing state, all of which are in north America.

There has to be a way around this. I can not believe they have not emailed you back yet ! I will try as well !

Hi Kah Kit,
I see there is a customer service number to call from the order review page, 1-888-973-0011. I figured it probably wouldn't be available outside North America, so I tried it and received a message that the number couldn't be reached from my area (Calgary, Alberta). :confused: This doesn't seem very accommodating for a contest with the word "international" in the name. I'll try the number again tomorrow on the chance that it only works during office hours.

Did you get an answer to your queries, Kah?

This year I haven't had a great experience with them I must say. After giving away so much money as entry fees, I learned that they had abruptly, and without notice or apology, arbitrarily changed the deadline for the competition from the 25th of May to the 24th of June! :confused: :confused:

Yes I got my reply several hours before the new deadline!
